FAQs
How often should I replace my ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1?
Replace your running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant loss of cushioning or support.
Can I use these shoes for cross-training?
While the Gel-Kayano 12.1 can handle some cross-training activities, they are primarily designed for running. Consider a cross-training shoe for broader activities.
How do I determine my shoe size?
Measure your foot length and width. Refer to ASICS size chart, which can be found on their website, to find the best fit.
What is the lifespan of the GEL cushioning?
